Lenin and the maiden (2003), by Magda Tóthová. Video performance, 2´34min, loop.
“Lenin and the Maiden […] borrows a fable-like narrative. The single channeled screen displays a degraded bust of Vladimir Lenin tilted slightly upward facing the subject off camera. A hand enters the shot, and Lenin’s face is gently caressed before a young female leans in from above to kiss him tenderly. As moments elapse, she becomes more aggressive with her affections, intensifying the passion and sexuality. Although Lenin seems to exist merely as a severed icon, the camera also optically beheads the girl. The relationship implies the transference of power from old heroic dictator to post iron curtain youth, although it could also insinuate secret desires for the strong political leadership of the past.” (Julie Roberts)

performance art is a load of overhyped bullshit.
